Lol well the tour may not make it past the first rest day so Tejay should be sorted [emoji6]

Woods leaving probably the reason.

So is popular view on the Interwebs ... but still seems pathetic c.f. TJ who has been out the back on a regular basis as of late.

Fan of team EF, the bikes, gear, clothes, mr Uran but not a fan of JV.

he 2020 Tour de France, scheduled to start in Nice on Saturday, is edging closer to collapse after the Alpes-Maritimes region, site of the opening stages of the race, was placed on red alert owing to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic

TJ has failed so many times. His most successful has been when he’s shipped time early and stayed in the tour instead of leaving and gone stage hunting. He is just not a GC guy. In fact he’s never been despite how much a US media want him to be.

 

Rusty is a real breath of fresh air. He’s intelligent and super positive with a background outside of the peloton. I hope he can shine at his new team and get a chance with EF at the giro or Vuelta.

He did show promise in his whippersnapper days at BMC, even usurping Cadel at times. He also  did well back home winning a few big races or stages thereof.

 

 

What happened thereafter, he just seemed to have not lived up to expectations. Look kudos to him for achieving what he has, but what is he bringing to the EF team for the Tour? Woods might well have been able to pull up front for the Colombians or even a stage, but TJ whats he gonna do?  Or am I missing something....
